I understand....possibly more than you could know (having faced a prolonged episode of abuse on whatsapp group from bunch of sanghi turds).
Sad reflection of our times, all too many people (India is no exception) wear toxic politics of the time on their sleeve and the stench imposes and lingers inevitably.
There is toxic indian forum that follows this one like shadow...while pumping out these clown accounts to send here I am told.
I'm primarily here for a behind the scenes project with some other members here rather than to get involved in the general forum side of stuff....but let me tell you what I think since you seem to be a long term member who cares about his country/people.
I feel this subforum truly reasonable members need not answer toxic troll stuff with mud for mud.
Even if the moderators are not taking appropriately action against persistent foul nuisances....surely (what seems to be a) tight knit BD membership core here can take own unique, wise and prudent action?
If you make the unprofessional people stick out like a sore thumb (to anyone reasonable thats worth convincing on your arguments/discussions) by ignoring them entirely (thus make them talk only to themselves like bunch of village idiots that lost their way), they lose surely? Only intervene if there is a new or worth member chatting getting misinformed by whatever antic etc.
If you respond to them, is it not them that end up winning as now you have accepted them as worthy to spend time and attention on?...they now know all they need to do is show up and paste some blah blah to get a whole topic derailed in stupid way.
If its one thing I know about Bengali people is their tough indomitable nature deep down. I am sure you guys here will come up with a better solution with time.
Maybe subforum needs its own dedicated Bangladeshi moderator if possible (elected by the long term core membership here)?
But even if that option not available why turn this place into a mini-twitter swamp by giving (repeat reruns of) toxic people too much time of your day? Same old people with same old mental issues, what's to gain?
There's literally no point answering negativity with more of it....and just being the same thing as rest of social media in general. Be something different as you can IMO.
You owe it to yourself to see the movie "Cool runnings" if you havent already, it doesn't matter what naysayers/pessimists/toxic/jealous and other negative vibe ppl think and try pull you down with....
....it matters what you think and do with people that think and do the same.
You only get pulled down if you let yourself be.
Good people in audience (worth making a good discussion for) will recognise that all (even if they only watching from afar),
You must trust them...to see things clearly. You make this place what you all (better minded ones) choose to make it.
God bless jamaica:
@Joe Shearer
I am the first one to 'ignore' trolls and ask other folks (including Bangladeshis) to do so. Doing so leaves trolls with no one to talk to.
However some posters here choose not to ignore trolls and carry on with them, which remains their problem. I can't force anyone's hand unfortunately.
I for one have been accused of flying off the handle once in a while when dealing with trolls, but I have learnt to check my reaction to trolls lately....
I also make a specific difference between Sanghis and sober Indian folks. The latter deserve kudos and respect, specifically @Joe Shearer dada and @jamahir bhai, among a few others.
You will notice we Bangladeshis bad mouth our own country 90% of the time. That is being real and practical, instead of the "mera desh mahaan" concept.
One should be one's own worst critic, collectively or individually.
